What Do I Want to Do With My Life?

I have been reflecting a lot lately about my life, what makes me happy and things I want to do to improve it.

This year one of my goals was to get closer to Ryan. When I had Hunter a lot of my attention was taken away from him. It took me a long time to realize and I felt really bad once I did. Since then I've been trying to get more alone time with Ryan, and really be present. I have been focusing on doing things for him, and trying to set time aside for him instead of getting distracted by the kids, and household chores. Spending time with my family has become a priority. Now that the weather is getting warmer I have been spending more time with the kids outside. Being outside, and getting some fresh air is a nice refresher. I love taking Hunter on walks during my lunch break. Its an easy way for him to fall asleep, and it gives me time to relax and think. One goal I have for this summer is to take the kids out to a cool park, go hiking, or just do something outdoors at least 1 day a week. I'm so excited for u-pick farms, and Farmers Markets.

I have been putting it off for a while now, but I really want to go back to school this fall. I have been feeling lately that I should be doing more with my life. Working at the daycare has it's ups and downs. I have loved being able to bring my kids to work with me, and the flexibility has been nice. It's just not somewhere that I want to be at for the rest of my life. If I stayed, there's no going up from the position that I have, and since I get to bring the kids, no raises either. I want to do something that helps people more. I have been interested in, and wanting to major in nutrition for a while now.

I'm not sure what the future has in store for our family just yet. I'm a little nervous, but very excited!
